Ashes and Ice

Dissolve me in water
Collect me in ice
It wasn't once that I thawed out
Not once, but twice.

Collect all my ashes 
Set loose in the dirt 
They swirled up around you
And you left them
dispersed

In the wind as it carries
My ashes away
Through fields of bright color
And corridors of gray 
Till at once they did settle
In some distant place 
To be ever forgoten
A memory erased 

Can you still see the quite?
The thoughts ever still 
Left there in a puddle 
Of ashes and silt 

No longer a factor
No longer the case 
But some afterthought, dear
Other time 
Other place
